SECTION 3 : HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Potential Health Effects:
Eye: Dust may cause slight irritation.
Skin: Dust from this product may cause temporary mechanical irritation.
Inhalation: Dusts from this product may cause mechanical irritation of the nose, throat and respiratory tract.
Ingestion: Ingestion of this product is unlikely. However, ingestion of product may produce gastrointestinal irritation and disturbances.
Chronic Health Effects: Chronic health effects are not expected as long as good hygiene and proper safety precautions are practiced.
Phenol formaldehyde polymer
Chronic Health Effects: Dust generated from intended use may contain trace amounts of phenol and formaldehyde which under excessive exposure may cause skin sensitization and airway obstruction.
SECTION 4 : FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Ensure adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the eyelids with fingers.
Get medical attention, if irritation or symptoms of overexposure persists.
Skin Contact: Immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Inhalation: If dust from cutting or drilling is inhaled, remove the affected person to fresh air. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Ingestion: Accidental ingestion of this material is unlikely. If this does occur, watch person for several days to make sure intestinal blockage does not occur. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

SECTION 6 : ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Methods for containment: Containment of this material should not be necessary.
Methods for cleanup: Shovel or sweep up for re-use or disposal. Avoid creating dusty conditions. Evaluate residue to determine if it is a hazardous waste by characteristic. Dispose of in accordance with Local, State, Federal and Provincial regulations.
Handling: Always HANDLE AND STORE wheels in a CAREFUL manner. Always VISUALLY INSPECT all wheels before mounting.
Always CHECK MACHINE SPEED against the established maximum safe operating speed MARKED ON THE WHEEL.
Always CHECK MOUNTING FLANGES for equal and correct diameter. Always USE MOUNTING BLOTTERS.
Always be sure WORK REST is properly adjusted.
Always USE A SAFETY GUARD covering at least one-half of the grinding wheel.
Always allow NEWLY MOUNTED WHEELS to run at operating speed, with guard in place, for at least one minute before grinding.
Always TURN OFF COOLANT before stopping wheel to avoid creating an out-of-balance wheel.
Storage: No special storage conditions required.
Hygiene Practices: Wear suitable gloves and eye/face protection.
SECTION 8 : EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION - EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
Engineering Controls: General dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation should be provided as necessary to maintain exposures below occupational exposure limits.
Eye/Face Protection: Always WEAR SAFETY GLASSES or some type of eye protection when grinding.
Skin Protection Description: Protective gloves.
Long sleeved shirt and long pants.
Respiratory Protection: When workers are facing airborne particulate/dust concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators.
A properly fitted NIOSH approved disposable N 95 type dust respirator or better is recommended.
Other Protective: Use of this product may create elevated sound levels. Hearing protection should be worn where required (see OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 and other applicable regulations).
General Hygiene Considerations: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
Avoid getting dust into boots and gloves through wrist bands and pant tucks.
